"Feeling blessed".

OP posts:
CoughLaughFart · 02/08/2017 12:33

Also, any adult who talks about going on their 'holibobs' should be committed.

trulybadlydeeply · 02/08/2017 12:35

Brilliant - pleased to hear I am not alone!

I cannot bear #feelingblessed, or indeed #makingmemories (aside from the families I know who sadly have only a little time to make precious memories with very poorly DC)

Everyone, every second of the day is making memories, what's special about them??

I also detest #justsaying and #wineo'clock, and most words preceeded by a # Grin

Believe you me (shudders)
You have to believe me (no, I don't!)

Oh, and #nofilter attached to every photo. Why do I care whether you altered it or not - it's a mediocre photo at best anyhow!

Holibobs

PrancerForHoney · 02/08/2017 12:40

Yes to #making memories whilst #feeling blessed on #holibobs with hubby. X
I also hate Methinks. It gives me the rage.

morningconstitutional2017 · 02/08/2017 12:41

'Absolutely' - just say yes.

midnightmisssuki · 02/08/2017 12:44

Why does 'we're just having supper' annoy you Lady? Confused

TheFaerieQueene · 02/08/2017 12:45

All this is thanks to the dystopian world of social media.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 02/08/2017 12:45

zzzzz

Well I couldn't just put 'supper' which is the problem as the OP asked for words plural.

As a massive class/ gentrification signifier it has no equal in my view. It makes me Angry

'Each to their own' annoys me only because the correct usage should be ' To each their own.' But I agree whichever way it's used it's generally in a massively PA manner.

Emmageddon · 02/08/2017 12:47

Oh I like a 'picky dinner' (or 'picky bits' if in the pub etc). It indicates the random assortment of shit left in the fridge that isn't quite coherent enough to label 'tapas'

I love this. Next time I serve up the dregs of a pot of hummus, a tablespoonful of coleslaw, a cold jacket potato, two chicken drumsticks, a slice of pizza and a left-over Yorkshire pudding, I shall announce it's tapas time.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 02/08/2017 12:48

Agreed Faerie

The unfortunate thing is when I'm browsing FB or Instagram, people using these terms are sometimes amongst my inner circle ! I obviously don't know them as well as I had thought.

Choccyhobnob · 02/08/2017 12:52

Feeling blessed just makes me want to vomit.

I'm guilty of most of the boobing ones though! Blush When you've been breastfeeding for a couple of years and have lots of friends who also do it's such a natural part of conversation and much quicker to write "boobing" than "breastfeeding" when it's something you say all the time!

Raver84 · 02/08/2017 12:52

'End of'

I hate anyone that says this shit.

CoughLaughFart · 02/08/2017 12:52

I also hate Methinks. It gives me the rage.

Oh god yes. No one has said it in real life since 1642, but log into Facebook and you can't move for it.

2ducks2ducklings · 02/08/2017 12:54

'Lets touch base' is far worse. In fact most corporate speak drives me crazy.

dingdongdigeridoo · 02/08/2017 12:58

End of is fucking obnoxious because it's basically saying 'I've given my opinion but won't be listening to yours'. Never known anyone to say it who wasn't a complete 'I say whatever comes into my mind' type of dickhead.

EastMidsGPs · 02/08/2017 12:59

'Little Man'
'Baby Daddy'

Have a new neighbour (who appears to have arrested development) who constantly puts these references into her conversations

CremeFresh · 02/08/2017 13:01

I'm watching the news and just heard 'designer drugs' , makes me rage , do not glamorise this shit, it's fucking killing people. (Sorry to be gloomy)

ButchyRestingFace · 02/08/2017 13:02

I like huggle.

As in give me a huggle.

Baby daddy makes me laff. I feel an urge to refer to a "baby daddy" in some stuffy work conference now. Blush

MrsPestilence · 02/08/2017 13:04

random assortment of shit left in the fridge that isn't quite coherent enough to label 'tapas' This is a most pleasurable combination of words. I love you Maid, just what we are having for lunch.

AmIthatbloodycold · 02/08/2017 13:04

ShowofHands. The only way your sentence could be considered the worst ever would be if you finished it off with a "Yum".

chirpyburbycheapsheep · 02/08/2017 13:06

In fact most corporate speak drives me crazy.

Oh God yes.

'So, moving forward let's try and have an idea shower to help us think out of the box'

DoomGloomAndKaboom · 02/08/2017 13:08

Oh God, all of these.

But this is the one that gives me cold fury:

reach out

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK OOOOOOOOFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
